Scientific paper

The twin jets in low-power radio galaxies decelerate from relativistic to sub-relativistic speeds on scales of 1-10 kpc from the active nucleus, probably due to entrainment of external matter. All entrainment models require a steep pressure gradient in the external hot gas. We have already shown that this model can be applied to the radio galaxy 3C31; we detected the predicted X-ray emitting gas and measured the pressure gradient, allowing a measurement of jet energy flux. The same observation showed that X-ray synchrotron emission from the jet comes from the region of bulk jet deceleration. We now wish to apply this technique to a second radio galaxy, 3C296, for which we have again predicted the gas properties near the jet, and where two-sided jet emission is likely to be detectable.
